Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To study incidence of metallo-beta-lactamase(MBL)-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa and their drug sensitivity.METHODS A total of 323 isolates of P.aeruginosa from Nanshan District of Shenzhen between Jun 2007 and Jun 2008 were subjected to susceptibility testing against various antibiotics and identified by ATB-Expression.Imipenem and meropenem resistant isolates were selected for the detection of MBL production by disc synergia test.Enhancement of inhibition zone around imipenem and meropenem discs impregnated with EDTA was found to confirme MBL production.RESULTS Totally 323 P.aeruginosa were isolated and MBL-producing accounted for 46(14.3%),drug resistance rate to imipenem and meropenem was respectively 45.4% and 26.3%.Colistin was the most sensitive to P.aeruginosa(96.9%).CONCLUSIONS Our findings show it needs to detect MBL producers,judiciously use carbapenems to prevent their spread.
